Budapest is a city in two distinct halves - Buda and Pest - separated by the Danube river.
Buda's Castle District, packed with palaces, forts, museums, churches and affluent housing is a World Heritage site, while Pest handles the dirty daily life of commerce, entertainment and conspicuous consumption - though that's not to say it's unattractive.

Pest is lively and cosmopolitan, offering all the modern amenities required by the urban animal, from sushi to late late clubbing and in a generally relaxed but historically interesting setting.

Budapest is, however, unrepresentative of Hungary in general. Modernisation is slowly seeping into the countryside but there are still plenty of medieval towns around, along with the occasional medieval or communist mindset.

Not far from Budapest are a couple of ancient towns popular with tourists in Hungary - Szentendre, Visegrad and Holloko. We include a few images of the latter two destinations in this Budapest Pictures Gallery.
